Audio: New RNC ads hit Democrats on Obamacare lies

The whole ‘New Year’s resolution’ theme feels a bit strained — but the voiceover doesn’t pull punches, flat-out accusing Democrats of lying to the public about their unpopular healthcare law. Which is exactly what they did. Knowingly and repeatedly. This spot will also air in Spanish, Korean and Vietnamese in certain targeted districts, via a source at the RNC:

The ads will be aired in English, as well as in Spanish in Colorado and Virginia, Vietnamese in Louisiana and Korean in Virginia. Targeted Democrats include Senators Mark Begich (D-AK), Mark Pryor (D-AR), Mark Udall (D-CO), Mary Landrieu (D-LA), Kay Hagan (D-NC), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Mark Warner (D-VA), and Representatives Bruce Braley (IA-01), Gary Peters (MI-14), Tim Bishop (NY-01) and Nick Rahall (WV-03). Each Democrat told a different version of the lie, “If you like your plan you can keep it,” which PolitiFact called the 2013 Lie of the Year.

If Republicans put up a strong candidate Tim Bishop can be defeated in NY – 01. He typically just sneaks through and simply depends on flooding the air waves with attack ads . If 2014 is a Republican wave year he’s going down.

I like the direction, I don’t care for the execution. People losing health insurance isn’t a subject to be dropping dumb word plays and sounding faux-cheery about.

These either need to sound angry/indignant, or, (more to my passive-aggressive taste) saddened and hurt that Senator so and so put his or her party ahead of their constituents and lied to us about ObamaCare.
